Save money by choosing self-service accommodations

If you are willing to stay in self-catering accommodations, you may not only have more room to spread out (condos are usually much larger than a comparable hotel room), but you’ll be able to save money by cooking some meals yourself. Granted, food in Caribbean and Hawaiian supermarkets is still about 30% to 40% higher than at home, but it’s always more cost-effective to make a few meals yourself.
